Between Tuesday night, June 3rd (and the two following nights) and Motza’ei Shabbat the 7th, most people will have said Kiddush L’vana by now. However, the last opportunity for K.L. is half a molad - which is 14 days, 18 hours and 22 minutes - since the previous molad. The molad of Sivan was 2:10am Shabbat, May 31st. The NIGUD (that’s what the midpoint between moladot is called) is Shabbat, June 14th, 8:32pm. With Shabbat-out in Jerusalem being 8:30pm, it is unlikely that anyone will be able to say K.L. then. That makes the last opportunity for K.L. this month Friday night, June 13th. Ideally, we don’t say K.L. on Leil Shabbat, but if one has not said K.L. until then, it is permitted (and encouraged) to say it (rather than miss this special monthly mitzva). People living to the east of Israel - Australia, for example - can say K.L. on Motza’Sh. [The
